The 2022 Report draws on significant research including extensive surveying of current professional and international players globally, surveying of players’ associations globally, statistical data from Cricket Archive, direct player engagement and other credible sources.

FICA CEO, Tom Moffat said:
“FICA is player led in everything it does, and these Reports continue to be an important part of FICA’s contribution to the game and its advocacy for players.”
“Given the pace of change, capturing the playing and employment landscapes at a point in time in these reports is becoming increasingly challenging, and that’s a good thing.”
“Pleasingly there have been a large number of positives to highlight globally during the report period, however, there are a number of significant issues that require addressing and FICA continues to urge the game’s leadership to work with it to address these.”
FICA President, Lisa Sthalekar said:
“I’m extremely proud of FICA continuing to dedicate time and resource into having a deep understanding of the landscape in the women’s game. This is our third edition and there are many lessons to be learnt as the game continues to grow exponentially.”
FICA Independent Director, Sana Mir said:
“Cricket should be striving to provide employment terms and conditions that attract the best sporting talent to our sport worldwide and ensuring there are more viable careers for players from more countries.”
